The singer and her boyfriend of three years have since remained mum on speculation of their marriage, but the Daily Mail is reporting that Bush's photo wasn't just a red herring — Gaga will be a married lady in no time!

The couple reportedly had an unofficial ceremony to mark their commitment to one another, which many interpret as a precursor to a formal wedding. "Gaga wanted something visual, a commitment ceremony with the people who matter the most," a source said. "They don't have time to plan a wedding, so they decided they would have a small gathering to show the people they love most how committed they are to one another. It was just for her family and a few close art and designer friends."

Apparently, they will soon have enough time to plan a real wedding, as the source added that Gaga and Kinney are planning to have a full, official wedding ceremony next year.

When they do tie the knot, it will surely be emotional. Gaga, who's currently promoting her album with Tony Bennett, recently gushed to the U.K's The Times about her boyfriend's support. "He's the first man that I have dated that, when I sing onstage, he cries. That means more to me than anything."

Not only that, but Kinney "loves me from the inside out," she added. "And he is completely blind to the way that I dress, my creative process as it is — he knows me as the Italian-American girl my mother and father gave birth to."
